o Tower Boulevard will get an overlay from Oberlin Avenue to Falbo Avenue, $300,000

The repairs will be part of an estimated total of $17.77 million in road repairs this year.

Additional repairs will be paid for with other revenue sources. For example, tax increment financing will pay to widen Jaeger Road, a $3.75 million project; the city's $5 license plate tax will pay for resurfacing Oberlin Avenue; and resurfacing SR 611 will be paid for mostly by the Ohio Department of Transportation.

The city of Lorain also will use money from the Ohio Public Works Commission to pay for other road projects.

The city Utilities and Engineering departments also have been planning for waterline replacements in the city that will bring Lorain's infrastructure investment to about $30 million this year, Ritenauer said.
